Shooting Features Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes) W Backlighting • Press the d button to select On or Off for HDR (high dynamic range) composition on the screen displayed after Backlighting is selected. • Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the backlit subject from being hidden in shadow. • On: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame. • The camera focuses at the center area of the frame. B Notes on HDR • Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A96) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera. • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting. • When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots pictures continuously and saves the following 2 images. - An image processed by D-Lighting (A74) at the time of shooting (image compensated to make a dark area brighter) - HDR composite image (loss of detail is reduced in highlights and shadows) - If there is only enough memory to save one image, one image processed by D-Lighting is the only image saved. • Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen. • Depending on the shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright subjects and bright areas may appear around dark subjects. 37
